What are veneers?

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin bonded to the front of teeth to change their colour, shape or size. Porcelain veneers usually need a small amount of enamel removed, which is not reversible. They are a cosmetic treatment.

Veneers: specialist or general dentist?

Veneers are placed by general and cosmetic dentists. There is no recognised cosmetic dentistry specialty; a prosthodontist may be recommended for extensive or complex cases. Ask to see the dentist's own before-and-after cases.

How much do veneers cost in Ames?

Typical ranges in USD for Ames, IA. Your price depends on the tooth, the case and the clinic.
